Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 70: Harvest Festival

What the fuck…

Fuck ... what the fuck is that !!!

Seeing the chaotic dance of light and recognizing its danger, Reihim lay hidden inside the carriage.

The monster city was still surrounded by barriers, and nothing strange was reported by his men.

So .... where did this monster come from …?

The Saint Knight's barrier, even the lower ones, should be protected from the entry of high-ranking monsters.

At the very least, if anyone entered or left they would be notified.

Despite that…

With a little thought, it was clear that the monster was mercilessly slaughtering his men before he did not care about things like obstructions.

The Blood Shadows army he borrowed from Cardinal Nicholas spread out into hiding and observed the situation.

As expected of them.

Like Reihim, they all pretended to be corpses.

If it is like this …

He regretted the inability of his report.

When asked about the reinforcements, he flatly rejected them.

After all, when they declared war on the city, they rampaged a little and were able to slash the only powerful demon – a woman – among them.

There is also no retribution.

So this war should have gone smoothly under the barrier.

Thanks to the battle barriers set by the 1,000 divisions of the Western Saint Church, every member of the army could be considered a B rank.

At the very least, it was inconceivable for them to have to go all out.

The monsters that escaped from the city should have been easily exterminated by the royal knights alone.

So, he decided to reject Sakaguchi Hinata's offer.

But, even if he came .. could he protect them from this?

The suspicion filled his head, and he hurriedly ignored it.

There is no road .

Sakaguchi Hinata was the strongest existence; how could he fall into a mere monster?

When he thought about it …

Silence enveloped the battlefield.

As if a freezing rain was falling on his back, fear overpowered his heart.

What .... what happened?

Those who scream in pain or cry out of fear – why do they suddenly fall silent?

At that moment,

「Oh, view ... happy」

Gleefully saying these words was a young girl, or perhaps a young child whose voice had not changed.

Congratulations ... said he?

But before he could realize that those words were directed at him and the shadow of blood …

He felt a great pain running through his body.

When both his arms and legs were cleanly burning, he finally saw the demonic devil.

At this point, he could no longer escape, nor retaliate.

All Reihim could do was pray to his god …

Unique Skills 『One Hati『.

Well ... I'm quite heartless, tee hee ~!

Fear of me is one thing, but when their hearts are broken I can activate the skill.

In other words, at that moment, my enemy's soul was in my palm.

They live and die by my own will.

Even if I let them go, if they choose to rebel again, I can wipe them out right then and there.

And as this field trial shows, it works even on escaping enemies.

It targeted anyone I knew as an enemy. In that case, the entire army I saw from the sky was targeted.

I intend to commit total genocide, yes; but even so, I expect some of them to flee. Well, thanks to 『Heartless One』, problem solved.

I don't think I can use this skill, but I think I can.

This is of course desired by a ruler who intends to rule with fear.

In the future, all I have to do to end the conflict is destroy the spirit of my enemy.

Oops, 『Magic Perception』 is picking up something. 13 men.

The fact that they survived means their spirits have not been destroyed.

Of course, that does not include the king.

13 People still want to fight.

Could it be that there were among those who belonged to the blood shadow that attacked the city?

For now, to prevent escape, let's burn their legs with Megiddo.

By the way, that.

There were many "people" whose legs I smashed, my hands burned, or my head pierced.

In short, they were a very scattered bunch.

My ... what should I do? 『Magic Perception』 is getting more and more advantages, and I am starting to feel dizzy!

Ah, I did hear that evolution was about to begin, so I guess I would lose consciousness.

「Ranga, are you there?」

「Ay, I'm waiting for your order, my lord!」

That's it .

Ranga jumped out from within my shadow.

Without intending to hinder me, but just in case something unexpected happened, he was on standby.

Fine, fine,

「Ranga, collect this shit and take them to the city.

Don't kill them.

I'll go back there before, I'll tell Youmu, so leave them to him 」

「How about those who escaped?」

I thought for a moment.

Three men fled. Normally, Ranga would easily be able to win, but they were at least at A rank.

If they work together, it might be dangerous to send Ranga alone.

But I have no desire to let them go.

「I'll send someone else to chase them.

After captured, I will leave them as you want 」

"Dad! I live to serve! 」

Confirming Ranga's reply, as if on a break, I began to gather my strength.

And, starting 〈High Demon Summoning..

As an offering, I would use a corpse under my feet.

I had already considered eating them, but I doubt there was any useful ability between them.

The Blood Shadow should suffice.

I don't know what kind of demon I will call, but, given that it probably won't be able to materialize, as long as it's useful, I'll be happy.

That is, as long as it can hunt for escape.

「I prepare your food, go forward, devil.

And serve me! 」

What is the right word I choose now!

I wondered if the devil would be satisfied with the offering.

As I thought that, three demons appeared.

Given the Great Demon of the past, which was A-rank, they were inferior compared to the Blood Shadow army.

With that in mind, I intended to call 30 of them, but only managed three.

Hey, hey, did you say 15 thousand bodies is only worth this much? Well, I devoured their souls, so maybe …

Not good, since coming to this world, this was the first time I felt a strong desire to sleep; my head was spinning.

「Hey, you guys, there are three fools running away. Capture them alive and take them to my subordinate Ranga. 」

I said when the dizziness became unbearable and I became unconscious.

I need to get to a safe place!

The devil is behind me,

「We are honored to receive our first order. The great offering you have given us fills our hearts with endless joy! End

「'It's not an easy task, oh Lord of Darkness is coming! Can we hope to be used by you? 」

「…. . 」

They said such greetings, but my consciousness quickly faded.

「We'll talk later. First, prove that you can be used. Go!"

I said and transferred back to Tempest.

To pass through the barrier I have prepared a magic circle on the face of – it worked.

Benimaru rushed over to me, so I told him to take a message for Youmu.

And, sitting where we had prepared before, I lost consciousness.

The deep sleep I experienced was the first time I had been completely unconscious since coming to this world.

＊ ＊ ＊

The first one gathered in the middle.

Since the barrier eliminated magic energy, they worked hard to increase it even slightly.

Everyone was busy obediently fulfilling their roles.

In the middle lay the bodies of Shion and the others, protected by a barrier.

In the middle stood the magic circle that Rimuru had prepared, and the temple that they had built to welcome the arrival of the new demon king.

Surrounding all of this was the group guarding the barrier.

Shuna was also among them, along with Myulan who volunteered to help.

Shuna thought,

Rimuru seems to be worried about the fact that he used to be human, but that is just a trivial fact.

For Shuna, all that matters is a connection to her partner's soul that will calm her mind.

It would create endless euphoria and full satisfaction.

If he lost Rimuru, he would definitely go crazy.

「Rimuru-sama ... we will be happy even if we have perished, as long as you continue to live.

But, Rimuru-sama, losing one of us makes your soul become like a disagreement .. 」

He muttered.

Benimaru nodded at these words which showed his full agreement.

It's possible that Rimuru's benevolent character changed during her transformation.

If so, then,

「When you become a demon king, please release us cruel characters ..」

They pray that this does not happen.

Benimaru, Souei, Hakurou, and Kurobee are on standby.

By Rimuru's orders.

It was supposed that he turned into a mindless beast (the demon lord), that they threw him away quickly.

That's the only outcome they hope to prevent.

「That's because you always sleep, Shion. 」

The whisper is more than prayer.

What they prayed for was not a God, but a single monster.

Someone who never betrays their expectations and who will definitely give it up again.

So they believe.

Then,

Announcements. Individual: Rimuru Tempest, the transformation to "Harvest Harvest" Demon King is now about to begin. Once done, the related monsters will be blessed with a gift≫

Every monster that had gathered in the city heard the "World Voice".

It seems that Rimuru managed to destroy the invading forces.

In that case, it is time for them to shine.

"Strust yourself! Our master has emerged victorious. Now it's our turn now! 」

Benimaru's voice echoed throughout the city.

The city came alive.

Rimuru cannot be destroyed by losing Shion.

And, as planned, Rimuru will return.

As ordered, they let Rimuru rest.

After reuniting, they decide on a code.

In case Rimuru appears as a mere beast.

「Now,『 How Shion cook>? 』I asked」

"Understanding . 『Agrible』 what is the answer? Who thought this nonsense .. 」

Rimuru said sleepily.

His head was no longer spinning due to drowsiness, he muttered a grievance with a hint of strength behind him.

The one who thought about it was Benimaru, of course.

He had not forgotten that he had forced a new recipe onto her before.

So if he wakes up with a complaint .. any other wish he made to Rimuru.

If only everything had gone according to plan.

Benimaru and the others desperately worked to realize the plan, completely forgetting the words of the world.

That the gift that came to them was completely out of their minds,

＊ ＊ ＊

Rimuru fell into a deep sleep.

His consciousness detached from his fingers, he could no longer maintain his human form and returned to being slime.

Failed to reach the darkness where he was,

Announcements. The transformation into a demon lord, Harvest Festival has begun.

Body reconstruction has begun, transformed into a new species≫

≪ Ascertained.

Race: change from Slime to Demon Slime.

All parameters have been greatly improved.

The ability to freely change between matter and the spiritual body has been added.

Species ability is 『Decomposition Absorption, Endless Regeneration』

Furthermore, with respect to the resistance gained, new ones have been added …

Nullification of Physical Attacks, Nullification of Natural Effects, Nullification of Status Changes

Spiritual Attack Resistance, Holy Magic Resistance

Reconstruction has provided the following skills.

Now, with regard to everyday skills, the,

『Perception Witch』 『Hot Detection』 『Super Kissing』 『Hearning Perception』 『Ambition Satan Lord』

Has been added .

End of script, evolution is complete. ≫

And,

Being but a unique skill concept, without having self-awareness, but for the sake of serving its master, 『Sage Big』 wants to develop.

Announcements. Additional evolution must be attempted.

Trying to evolve 『Sage Big』,

… failure.

… trying again.

… failure.

… trying again.

for what seems to be an eternity

… integrating unique skills 『Shapeshifter』 .. success.

Unique Expertise 『Sage Awesome』 has evolved into 『Wisdom God Rafael』 ≫

After trying a million combinations, finally the result …

The Harvest Festival gave him such a gift.

Ability to develop skills.

For what this world knew as a Supreme Skill.

It was something that was considered almost impossible to happen.

After many failed attempts, that was the result.

It was something the skill wanted to fulfill its master's request; but, as a mere concept, it felt like there was no joy.

However, he felt sympathy.

But for that feel sympathy and not joy …

With his newfound abilities, he begins to work on his master's request.

But, to fulfill it .. maybe …

Again, evolution continues.

『Acts』 integrates with 『Heartless One』 and thus evolves into a voracious 『King Beelzebub ut.

To fulfill his master's request.

So, while Rimuru's consciousness was enveloped in darkness …

In order to fulfill his wish, his skills developed in silence.

But the Harvest Festival doesn't end there.

The prize that Rimuru will give is given to every soul associated with it.

It is the festival that accompanies evolution.

A festival where the demon king species evolved into a True Maou.

The celebration has just begun!

Several True Maou exist in this world.

Evolved into such a state for a demon lord as difficult as a normal person to evolve into a demon lord.

Among the ten demon lords, only four were True Maou.

Even those who had lived for thousands of years were not guaranteed status.

Orc Disaster would have been like that, but it was stopped in the middle of its transformation.

Thus, the demon lord watched over each other, in hopes of preventing others from developing above them.

And now, a new True Maou had been born among them.

An event that would destroy the balance of power and bring chaos to their ranks …
